Jade Canyon 6 Tent: 6-Person 3-Season

good and strong

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

I got the tent set it up and then the winds jumped up to 25 to 30 MPH and the rains came for three days my wife said take it down but I said no and it weather the storm !

This tent has a ton of room. We use it for 2 adults with cots and have plenty of room for a weeks worth of gear. It is easy to set up and take down and seems very well built. I look forward to using it in Wyoming next summer. This tent is meant for car camping as it is a little heavy.

Nice tent!

Easy to put up by myself. I like the larger windows. I have used this tent a few times camping and it’s worked out great!It’s made well.

Perfect Tent for Car Camping

Recently used this tent on a camping adventure after replacing a much cheaper (and less trustworthy) tent. Well of course just our luck it POURED multiple times while on the trip... ...But luckily we had purchased this tent. At the bare minimum I expect a tent to keep you dry when it rains and this one did that. I felt it was spacious, set up was easy, I actually appreciate the weight and construction, and the bag is actually a decent size for putting it away. Overall very happy with the buy.

Family of four comfortably

Easy set up and take down even with the “help” of a 3 and 4 year old. Packs down to a manageable size and very sturdy in the wind

Lovely warm weather tent

Very spacious tent. Easy to set up, although it requires a little bit of strength to get the poles into the roof mechanism. I though the toggle loop windows on the inside would be annoying but they were fine, and actually better than zips since they won't get stuck. Does well in hot weather, we are using it here in Kenya where the weather is primarily hot. Can't comment on rain as of yet but it looks like it would hold up well. Packs down easy and is more compact than my old Core Equipment 6 person instant tent, whilst also being more spacious on the inside. Love the fact that you can stand upright right at the door, while taking shoe's on and off. Very comfortable tent to stay in.

Awesome tent

My wife and I did a 5 day camping trip over Memorial Day - we had cool nights, warm afternoons, lots of bugs and some rain. This tent nailed it for us. The cabinmax structure with the tall ceilings make this tent super roomy. The rain fly worked perfectly and held up to some decent winds and rain. The tent sets up easy and easily fits back in the bag once taken down. I really like that the instructions are waterproof and attached to the bag so they will never get lost. Can’t wait to sleep many more nights in this thing!

This is an easy tent to setup once you understand the color coding on the parts. I’m sure actually reading the instructions would have helped.

Great summer camping tent

I chose this tent because of its near-vertical walls and it aluminum upper poles (versus the fiberglass poles on other options). I am really happy with my choice. We've been using this tent for car camping with a family of four. It is strictly a car camping tent, but it is just about perfect for that use. It is a little more complicated to set up than a simple dome tent, but once you have done it a couple of times it's very easy. I has tons of standing room. It is roomy for the four of us on long/wide thermarests, but I would be cautious about having cots on the floor without something down on the floor to protect it. We have not dealt with rain seeping through the sides of the windows in spite of the lack of zippers. In a hard driving sideways rain I could see this being a problem, but it would have to be pretty extraordinary conditions. That being said, the frame itself is pretty strong and when guyed out it seems like it could take a decent amount of weather. Keep in mind that it's a cabin tent, though, and it's not designed for high winds. It's very well ventilated up top. This is a good thing in all but the coldest conditions. Condensation hasn't been an issue. I would prefer a different tent for late fall or winter in the rockies, but you'd need a different tent anyways to withstand snow loading. All in all, a very nice tent. Well made, well sewn, good fabrics. I'm very pleased. The main downside is the lack of stake down points in the middle between corners, which would help immensely. Not enough to dock a star, however.

A Great Tent from a Leader in the Industry!

This is my 4th Eureka purchase. After 18 years only one is out of service. Great products from a leader in the industry. Their customer service is excellent. The Jade Canyon X6 is very roomy, easy to set-up and take-down. Very happy to have it in my camping gear.
